    @olenkapdx I do too. Now that I'm in my third trimester and am plagued with anxiety over baby, anxiety over being a mom, pain from carrying around this load, etc. I find myself thinking, "Daaaaaang it'd be nice to take a break and one looooooong hit."  

    I'm relieved to see the open-mindedness of this group regarding marijuana. I do think it has it's place in the world -- that it can be beneficial to those where manufactured drugs don't work or don't want to be used. My FIL has bad fibromyalgia and has his medical card in California. It's crazy -- the weed he gets isn't like the illegal stuff (unless you're in WA or CO) you get from a dealer...it's all special formulated to reduce the THC and boost other parts of the plant so that it targets pain without leaving him all funky and blotto (Although we made him some special brownies before he got his card and seeing my FIL, an ex-Oakland cop stoned off his ass was pretty damn entertaining. Talk about PARANOID!). 

    I'll be curious to see what these next five years bring in terms of the nation's view on pot. 

    Also, sorry, didn't mean to turn our FFFC into a pot-fest.

    When I went to the birthing classes the instructor talked about interventions/measures they would have to take if there is an issue, forceps, vacuum, csection etc. She said that if they find that forceps or a vacuum has to be used, you can have a choice for a csection. I honestly think I will choose csection. I know that a csection is major abdominal surgery, I am just so uncomfortable with forceps and vacuums being used. I plan on talking more about it with my midwife on Monday.

    @Dani+California people are still anti weed?

    Apparently, yes. I posted a vent back in October about a party I went to where guests were smoking up and how they made comments about me simply BEING there (that I shouldn't be at a party pregnant) and how it made me feel awful.

    The general consensus among some posters was I should have never put myself in that situation, how irresponsible of you, the cops could take your baby away, and the usual alarmist reactions to marijuana I've become accustomed to. Good times!

    FFFC: I smoked occasionally pre-pregnancy and I'm sure I will again in the future.
    :-bd
    I remember this October thread so fondly (sarcasm font). I believe it ended with my professional responsibility being slammed by some bitch who must not hang out here any more. SO FUN.

    Weed can also be fun.

    Oh the dryer sheet in the TP roll trick! Brings back old memories! I smoked my fair share (and yours, and probably yours) of pot in HS and college but it's just not the same as you get older. My DH is hysterical when he smokes. He starts talking like Matthew McConahey from "Dazed and Confused" and it's so funny to watch!
    The older I am, I'd rather just have a couple of cocktails then get stoned. Plus, I cannot mix pot and alcohol, it just gives me the spins something awful! Pot makes me tired and a tad paranoid and it's just not as fun anymore. But to each their own if you enjoy it!

    I haven't ever smoked weed because I have bad asthma and I am scared to but I have always wanted to. When we cleaned out my dads house after he passed my DH brought home his tool box and found some hidden in there. I know my dad would hate for me to waste it so I am saving it.
    @Jessieann1020 - i had a pot cookie in Colorado. All the fun without the smoke for us asthmatics.

    @ASasquatch I know the feeling! While I'm totally grateful, I think only 6 items came off my registry. I was secretly miffed that I put SO much work into what I really wanted for my baby and people disregarded it for the most part (I'm over it though - I got enough gift cards to cover the rest!). Also, I have like 2,000 onesies and no actual outfits for baby girl and that made me a grumpy cat yesterday while doing her laundry.
    I believe you have at least one outfit... ;;) Though I think I did get her a bigger size! But yeah, that stinks. There have been a handful of people who have been asking what I need even though my showers have ended, and I'm like, "Just get me a gift card!" since there's still a couple things I need off of my registry.

    Didn't have a baby shower( just a small family one in November but no friends)

    My sister says that means I wasn't "into my pregnancy" made me sad for only one minute before I was like GTFO. You don't know my lyyyffeeee

    I'm not "into my pregnancy." Judge me.
    @JessieAlbin‌ and @mrscrcalli‌- me either. And I don't feel connected to the baby at all yet. It worried me my first pregnancy that I would be a horrible mother and not love my baby, but that definitely didn't happen. I'm CRAZY about DD. So, I don't think it's any big deal to not be able to get into your pregnancy or into a baby that you can't really imagine/haven't met. I had a lot of guilt about it last time and this time it's not stressing me out.

    You should research that a little bit I think you'd be surprised ;)
    My DH used to have a medical card for his asthma.  One small hit before a long run cleared his airways better than his inhaler. 
    Ugh, I've smoked before and my lungs killed for days after. Weird.

    Try a vaporizer. I have asthma too, and while I love the feeling of smoking a joint, the vape is definitely the way to go in terms of your lungs liking you the next day.

    This is totally something I needed to hear. I have been stressing/feeling guilty that I won't like the baby very much. This pregnancy has been the worst and so I'm not like ohhhh I love it. Psht. No thanks.

    I am terrified of thunder storms. We are about to have a severe storm with high winds, hail, and possible isolated tornado. I'm sitting here on my couch watching the window thinking about where in the house is the safest if I need to hide for protection. I'm so dramatic. I don't know how I will tell my kid not to be scared of storms when I am!

    Oh, man I'm the exact opposite! DH and I will sit on our porch and watch the lightning if we can, although tornado sirens do give me the heebie jeebies.

    My husband is currently downstairs in the kitchen frying up some bacon. He's going to wrap scallops in it as an appetizer since we're having friends over for dinner but I may go stuff my face with some right now because it just smells SO DAMN GOOD.

    I was really worried I wouldn't like my baby and would completely regret having her. I didn't want kids until last year and worried I rushed into it. I'm happy to say I feel the complete opposite and as generic as it sounds I have never loved someone so much and I really think having her was the best thing I've ever done.

    Last year when the sirens went off here DH and I ran out on our 3rd floor balcony to see the weather! DH spent a lot of time with family in Kansas where they would climb on top of the hog barn and watch the tornados cross the fields. He thinks all of us in Michigan are overly paranoid after that childhood.
